I agree, Linus uses Pine, and if someone could modify Pine tosay, when the 'F7' key is hit to auto-reply to a message w/ 'Too busy' where the reply would then go to JitterBug and the developer, JitterBugwould update the status of the patch, and the developer would get aresponse directly from Linus sooner. The 'F7' could also move the patchto a specific folder for Linus and bring up the next message, if that iswhat he wants.
